This thematic exhibition allows students to examine Miami’s nuances as they explore them through the use of various media such as drawing, painting, printmaking and more. Miami’s natural waterways, mangroves palm trees, small islands, seagulls, sultry sea breezes, the sounds of Biscayne Bay lapping at the shore, flora, fauna and sunsets that paint the sky a thousand shades of tangerine and lavender are but a few of those tropical wonders explored and interpreted through this student exhibition. Taste of the Tropics is a juried exhibit by Miami-Dade County Public School Students in grades K-12. The Opening Awards Ceremony will be held on Thursday, March 16 from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibit will run from Monday, February 27 – Tuesday, March 28.
